About the Book

Based on a beloved teacher's most popular lesson, The Priority List is "a beautiful, heartfelt, and ultimately important story about love, kinship, gratitude, and miracles" (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love). Steve Carrell is set to produce and star in the film adaptation of David Menasche's inspiring story of his battle with brain cancer and his journey to truly live in the present. At thirty-four years old, David Menasche was diagnosed with brain cancer. Six years later and fifteen years after he began teaching, Menasche suffered a catastrophic seizure that began to steal his vision, memories, mobility--and perhaps most tragically of all--his ability to continue teaching. But teaching is something David Menasche can't quit. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. Cancer had taken his past and would certainly, at some point, take his future, but he wouldn't allow it to take his present. He put out a message on Facebook, and within hours of posting his plan to travel the country, former students now living in more than fifty cities replied with offers to help and couches to sleep on. The lasting lessons he collected on his journey make up The Priority List, an "inspirational and enlightening" (Ron Clark, American educator) story of learning, love, and legacy that challenges us to ask: What truly matters in life?

Review :
A beautiful meditation.-- "Kirkus Reviews" A memoir that explores one man's search for love, family, purpose and gratitude... never offers facile answers -- only an examined reality that is uplifting and even, at times, comical.-- "Miami Herald" A teacher's healing journey.-- "People" In an abstract way, we all know that life is short and precious. Or, at least, we THINK we know. But for David Menasche -- a passionate young teacher diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 34 -- that notion was anything but abstract. Filled with a wide-eyed reverence for life, he set off on an audacious journey around the country, determined to visit all his old students and speak to them (and listen to them) about the true priorities of existence. The result is a beautiful, heartfelt, and ultimately important story about love, kinship, gratitude, and miracles.--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and The Signature of All Things When cancer told David Menasche his teaching days were over, he told cancer: With all due respect, you don't know me very well. Writing with courage and strength, his determination to share life's lessons beyond his classroom is both inspirational and enlightening.--Ron Clark, American educator and author of The Essential 55 and The End of Molasses Classes "Within David's journey, there are powerful lessons about how we connect to one another, and how even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting legacy. The Priority List is a brave and important book, which at its deepest level reminds us what it means to be human.--Jerry DeWitt, author of Hope After Faith A lot of people could write about what they would do if they were told they only had a short time to live, but few could write as thoughtfully, and with as much honesty, as David has with The Priority List. This former skate punk turned English teacher's life lessons will inspire anyone who reads them.--Jim Lindberg of punk rock band Pennywise Like Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture, this memoir is a rousing testimony to the ways in which, in the face of death, living fully in the present moment becomes possible.-- "Publishers Weekly"
